Winston knows the Party is lying because he frequently observes contradictions between the Party's statements and the reality he experiences. For example, the Party constantly alters historical records and facts to fit its narrative, a practice that Winston witnesses firsthand as an employee at the Ministry of Truth. Additionally, his memories and the experiences of others contradict the Party's Propaganda, leading him to distrust their version of the truth. This cognitive dissonance fuels his growing skepticism toward the Party's authority.
